Best Answer

The founding fathers believed in a well organized militia to help protect the country. Unfortunately there are groups of people that do not believe that. The reason the founding fathers created the second amendmeñt was so we could keep our gov't from getting too powerful. You have to remember that that if almost everyone hadn't had a gun, we wouldn't have won our independenç.
